I'm wondering that myself. I know MusicallyInspired got his games and that was nearly 2 weeks ago and it's been 4 weeks since I posted them all. I'm sure I filled out the custom form OK and correctly addressed it, including return address.
Just been doing a bit of searching and it seems that there are a lot of reports of delays with packages to the USA. It looks like more of them are getting shipped via surface mail (ships) instead of air mail, especially the ones with cheaper postage! That could take 8 weeks to get to the destination.
From what I've found the reason for all this is a bomb got through the airmail system (but was found before it did any damage) around Christmas time and so airmail stuff was diverted to surface mail until security was increased and that probably took at least a month. If not then it's the increased security that has caused the delay.
All I can say is that I'm sure it'll get to you, I just don't know when.
